Great, that is just what that trailer needs ..... more plastic and duct tape.

On a more humorous note, it was the same one that had the plastic on it at Heron Lake. I had a plexiglass one cut for it. Maybe lexan this time. I'm sure its going to be a while before Vintage Trailer gets them back in stock.

Tomorrow's winter storm is supposed to be stronger then the one in December!

I'm not sure if I believe the part about blowing dust, but blowing mud is a possibility. Sounds like a good day to make sure everything is secure, cook up a nice hot bowl of soup and check for leaks.

In Quartzsite it rained all night long. The washes were running when I got up at 6:30. Rain hasn't let up. Good thought to check for leaks Richard. Last storm we had one of my skylights was leaking so in the calm between the storms I re calked it. Typical skylight, cracked around the screws. Supposed to rain through Friday. Has a tendancy to slow down the happy hour.

Heavy snow falling in the mountains of western New Mexico. Nine inches in last 5 hrs and they say the bulk of it hasn't gotten here. YAHOOOO!

It started here in Angel Fire about an hour ago and supposed to last until Saturday morning. We're stocked with food and lots of fuel for the tractor, but I sure hope this isn't as bad as the weatherpeople are saying. We DO want to pull out with the Airstream in a couple of weeks!
